eBay Snipping ....

Post by bskhas »

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a snipping software for bidding on eBay website. Currently i m in the start of its development. At its first step, i just have the item number of any product listed on eBay website. I want to fetch complete detail of that product only by that item number. For that i'll have to get the information from eBay database server.

Can anybody help that how this can be done ? How i can get the information of that particular product by just the item number ? Does eBay allow under certain conditions so that anyone can interact with their database ?

I'll be greatful if anyone can help me in this regard.

Thanx ...

Uhm, I very much doubt so. If anything, they MAY provide an RSS feed, but even that is unlikely.

And may I just clarify what a snipping software is? If it's what I think (software that helps you bid on items by waiting til the last second and outbidding another person), I won't be able to help you with your problems do to a previous hatred of the software in question. :wink:

You can access absolutely everything about an auction remotely. And listings, searchs, bid on things, do powerseller stuff, all sorts.

Mind you, it's complicated. And if you don't know how to spell "sniping" it might be beyond your skill level. ;)
